 townhouse, 1820s construction
4-story residential building originally completed in the 1820s as a 2.5-story townhouse. It was raised to three full floors in the 1880s.. The facade is clad in red brick above a white stuccoed basement on the Charlton Street side, and faced in plain brown brick on the Sixth Avenue side, where it used to abut another townhouse before the avenue was cut through. It was converted from a single-family home to a boarding house around 1915. In the 1930s, the stoop was removed and the building was renovated into rental apartments with a basement entrance. Aaron Copland, one of America’s greatest composers, lived on the top floor of the attached carriage house in 1951-1952.
